In other news from Chrysler, the Mopar parts unit is celebrating 75 years with a quartet of customized vehicles.

The Mopar '12 Chrysler 300, the Dodge Dart GTS 210 Tribute, the Fiat 500 Stinger and the Jeep Compass True North get a range of cosmetic and performance upgrades. They will be on display in February at the Chicago auto show.
